You may recall that in October I spoke at A11y Camp in Melbourne. I shared my slides, but being text-free they weren’t terribly useful.
Well, the video of my talk is available!

There is also a link to the entire playlist for the event.

I want to write my own cross-platform and accessible for blind users #Mastodon client.
There are no #a11y friendly clients for Linux (only some TUI software) and there are only one buggy and unstable proprietary client for Windows called #tweesecake.
I already know the stack I'll use but I have one problem.
I don't know Mastodon well enough to be sure that I implement every feature which is supported there.
For sure I can read the whole API reference but maybe there are easier ways, maybe some list of features, maybe some feature guide for developers, etc.
As a blind user I can't just install any popular and cool client and take all features from it... That's the problem: they are not accessible at all or not accessible enough for every day use.
So, maybe someone helps me with some sort of docs or I don't know :D
Ah, I see that BlueSky has joined LinkedIn in supplanting Twitter as the primary source of accessibility misinformation.
(I didn’t make this clear, but this post came across my timeline here and on linkedin and it just shows how this kind of stuff spreads on algorithmic timelines and then bleeds over to other social networks. That’s how you poison a well.)

I have emphasized numerous times in the past why you should not use #HCaptcha, especially in situations where equal access is vital. Their practices are not inclusive, locking out users who have no other way to access whatever the captcha protects. This blog post illustrates one of the scenarios: michaels.world/2023/11/i-was-b…
Here's to better captcha solutions in the future, or to indeed existing ones, such as mcaptcha.org/ #a11y #accessibility #blind #captcha

If you've been looking for that next semi-cheap music-making fix but haven't decided what to get, consider Ableton Move.
If you look at the official videos, literature and documentation, you'd be fooled into thinking that it's not actually accessible. This is incorrect.
It runs a web-server for helping you manage samples,recordings and sets, but it also has an undocumented screen-reader which I demonstrate in this video.
Next to Komplete Kontrol, I can say that this has been the most innovative, fun and game-changing piece of hardware I've owned and I thoroughly enjoy working with it.

Excerpt from Peter Kirn's blog about Move:
‘How do I access Move with a screen reader?
Andre Louis has a walkthrough for you, as pointed out here in comments! And as always, it’s terrific. This is honestly worth a watch for sighted users, too, to understand how these interactions work – and it’s required viewing if you work in instrument design.’

A few months ago I wrote about how I approach alternative text for images and tried to offer context for each of my considerations.
“My Approach to Alt Text”

I also link other resources that are not mine.
My Approach to Alt Text
I ran across a survey from Tilburg University on the experiences and perspectives of image describers. It asked what process I follow to write image alternative text, and it occurred to me that I don’t use a checklist or guideline anymore.Adrian Roselli

"My personal take on this is it sucks, as while the control is disabled for all, only for a subset of users (low vision) the text label for the disabled control is illegible."

Back in the old days, we used alt text because folks didn't always want to wait for them to download.
I'm sitting at the end of my driveway, ready to hand out candy, connected to the house wifi.
I'm not getting photos 🤣
I am currently very thankful for those who have added alt text to their images and videos!

For me, @joplinapp@mastodon.social is the most important #ToDo and #wiki tool for my efficient daily #work and #organization.
With the new version, there are some improvements for #accessibility, such as the use of #screenreaders.
